What is Vulners API?

Vulners API is a comprehensive vulnerability database and cyber threat intelligence feed. It contains information on over 160,000 known software vulnerabilities collected from a variety of sources including the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), security advisories, bug trackers, exploit databases, malware signatures, and open source intelligence.

The key capabilities provided by Vulners API include:

• Vulnerability search - search for known vulnerabilities by software name, CPE names, CVE IDs, bug IDs, and other parameters.
• Vulnerability matching - match software and its versions against the Vulners database to identify known vulnerabilities.
• Software composition analysis - upload software manifests like package.json or pom.xml to analyze dependencies and identify vulnerable libraries/components.
• Trend analysis - analyze trends in vulnerability disclosures, exploit availability, malware campaigns etc. for different software.
• Threat intelligence - get access to cyber threat intelligence data related to vulnerabilities such as exploit code, malware samples, attacker groups targeting vulnerabilities etc.

Vulners API enables developers to integrate vulnerability management into CI/CD pipelines. Security engineers can use it for asset inventory tracking, vulnerability prioritization, and security monitoring. It provides an extensive database combined with versatile search and analytics capabilities for security analysis of software applications.
